Another great history book, gives good insight into the kind of fractured society that made the revolution possible:

Recent book on the battle of midway. Very detailed (about 500 pages), without being dry. Must-read if you're into naval warfare.

Combat Mission, the book . Lot's of interesting accounts, from funny to outright horrifying.

If you're interested in current physics and have some mathematical background. You really have to work to get something out of this book, its one of the few popular science books that doesn't treat you like a retard (most books I've read e.g. on quantum physics try to avoid using formulas altogether and as a result become ridiculously vague).

If you like bands like Dinosaur Jr., Minor Threat... Well written and researched, doesn't read like just another fan account.

If you used to observe ants as a child (or play Sim Ant ), this will just blow your mind. Ants truly are some of the most fascinating animals on the planet, and it's all in this massive tome (weighs about 7 pounds...). Pretty expensive though.

autobiography of a soldier in the Chechen wars. Well written. Shows himself transforming from a naive kid and rookie soldier into a hardened killer.
Wasnt expecting it to be as good as it turned out, up there with Herr's Dispatches for nonfiction books on War

anyone read Gibbons Rise and Fall? im in a toss up to get that or Xenophons Anabasis for next book.

One girl, aside from her fucking retarded name -- "Montica"? Seriously? -- was by all other measures a normal, happy 19 year old girl. She just happened to have a penis.
